Saturday, May 4, 1 – 3 p.m., Orcas Food Co-op
— from Susannah Weaver for Orcas Food Co-op —
Lacto-fermented vegetables, such as sauerkraut and kimchi, are the original superfoods. Here’s a rundown of the many ways fermented veggies support robust health and vitality:
- Fermented vegetables are teeming with probiotics, which are critical to the health of our guts.
- These beneficial bacteria are mini factories pumping out lots of critical nutrients, immune system modulators, even neurotransmitters!
- They also contain prebiotics, which is the food that feeds the good bacteria.
- Fermented vegetables contain enzymes, which helps our bodies digest and absorb the nutrients in our food.
- The nutrients contained in the vegetables are enhanced and more easily absorbed.
Join Regina Zwilling to learn more about the many health benefits of traditionally fermented foods. Participants will get hands-on experience in making sauerkraut and will take a home a jar of organic kraut made during the class in the Co-op Commons! Kids are welcome.
